Anichebe’s goal nominated for Dec. award

Nigeria’s Victor Anichebe has seen one of his goals nominated for Everton’s goal of the month for December.

Anichbe’s flickering header against West Ham United was part of the five goals shortlisted by panel of officials at the Goodsion Park.

Anichebe nodded home the 64th-minute equaliser on his first appearance for two months in his injury-hit season. It was also the first. “Anichebe’s a really good player, he just needs to believe in himself a little bit more because he’s got something about him,” Everton Boss David Moyes said of the Nigerian striker.

“He’ll play a big part, he’s a really important player, he can do two or three jobs for me and he took his goal well,” he added.

The other goals in the run for the December Award are Maurone Fellani’s goal against Manchester City, Niika Jelavic’s strike against Totenttehanm, Phil Jageika against Wigan and Steven Piennar’s early stunner in the duel against Chelsea.
